Feeding time! We have Easter cheer, how 'bout you!? CIMG4949.JPG (647757 bytes)

3.15.06 - Val Pahl Birthmark/Pancake party! 

Pancakes pancakes pancakes! I made banana pancakes (or SUPER NANNER PANDA CAKES as Fu called them), chocolate chocolate chip, and boring, bland, flavorless ones (hold the flavor, please) Suprise, Alli is pouting Crazy ass Crazy like a fox.... someone needs to wipe off that smug smirk of self-satisfaction. Operation: knock alli down a few pegs So Leavy kicks her in the face David Deleha...something.... goes in for a vicious hair-pull Leavy swoops back in for a quick jab to the face Joe Ho dives in with a quick jab to the jaw and a swift upper knock to the noggin And Sadie finishes her off with a mean snake-bite Beautiful Leavy That's right ladies - this fox just got contact lenses Tara kicked his contact lense and he gulped down some spinach to seek revenge Sara Feb   Summer just won't be the same without this kid :-(  

           Guess whose leg it is! (Attendees sported replicas of Val's BM - mouse-over for answer)

Alysha! Mine (ew....) Alli's monkey leg (haha! just kidding! It belongs to Bretty Crocker!) Tara Alli Leavy Meg peg Fu Ho

Xmas Break!! 

1.8.05 - Feedmill Market work party at Lake Street Cafe! Can you handle this, Elkhart Lake?! Ho's afterwards...

Sadie the cleaning lady and Carla! Steve Briggs is the man! Van is amazing! The fastest stair-climber in Elkhart Fellow Feedmill friends That's Jim, drunk as always Steve and Julia! The head honchosFu turns bad-ass and gets some tatoos Now he can legally own a motorcycle The artist at work This picture can't get bigger. This is what Ho and Fu's kid will look like We found out that my camera can take two pictures in one. amazing...

1.1.06 - Polar Bearing!!!!! What madness.... 

Over-enthusiastic to roll out of bed the morning after to take the plunge. Waiting in the parking lot, posing for Linda Oh Luscious we couldn't have done it without you! Well, well, it's the Schu Daddy himself! How privileged we are to be graced by his presence! The most attractive of Mike's friends... I forget their names... BRRR!!! Look hard, we're in the bottom right of the mob standing near Waldo What better to do when you're wet than to stand around shivering in the arctic wind Carla The dressing game Fu's "in the water look" Carla's "in the water look" My "in the water look" (And I really was pulling down on my hat the whole time because my head is too fucking big for hats) Aaron's "in the water" Fu's "after the water look" Carla's "after the water look" My "after the water look" (still beautiful...) Aaron's after Holly's "in water look" Holly's "after water look" 

12.31.05 - Happy New Year! It was especially amazing because Holly and I were deathly ill. Good start. We made the most amazing dinner ever, but some ungrateful bastards (FU AND JJ!!) didn't approve. Surprise. The night ended as every perfect New Year's should, in a cigar-smoke-filled garage playing cards and consequently missing the count-down. 

There's a good kitty  Hey JJ The good doctor investigating... you can see the gears grinding Damn! Somehow Holly managed to steal a picture of me... Now everyone will know what the bottom half of my face looks like The most amazing mushroom soup in the world. Too bad our dinner guests were too bitchy to enjoy it Manfeb is wasted Me, preparing the tiramisu It's funny, because whenever I picture JJ he is making that same face Sassy... Remember your tax dollars go to this kid FuBear Lovely hand A Holyland girl's dream A younger Harry Baus? I burned Holly with my cigar to prevent a picture from being taken Fu, once he saw Holly's burns Hey Scandalous paranoid Thank you, Holly. No really, thank you... Payback... Blah stop taking pictures of me Butch enters Butch is feeling frisky Butch finds him a piece of Fu Butch pursues fu rewards And then they fall in love Let's just say I had to sleep on the floor after this... ManFeb - funny girl, right? No. So we're sitting in the living room, and she freaks out because she lost her earring somewhere and makes us all look for it. We find it here, in her ear. I beat her good after that.. THE COOLEST BIRTHDAY CAKE IN THE WORLD! Holly and I made a llama cake for Carla You can tell she likes it It's not New Year's at the Stephanie's without fireworks

12.30.05 - Fu's birthday! Ho and I made the coolest cake in the world and Leavy came over and we went to Faros afterwards. 

 Holly and I made Fu a kitty cake for his birthday! How awesome is that?! I wonder if he likes it... Leavy pops in Gives some birthday sugar Then Fu discovered how we colored the kitty... Fu playing with his birthday gift from me - a bag of Jello! Best gift ever, I know. It was an inside joke, because my earliest memory of Fu goes back 16 years to preschool when teacher made us Jello bags and he... well... used his improperly Me, hiding in the shirt I promised to wear every day over Xmas break (and I did)

12.28.05 - Retrieving JJ! Nothing says Welcome Back! like din-din at Countryside...

Holly, anxious for JJ's arrival Fu when he saw JJ The man of the hour appeared I ran and hid Then I called Kevin for the low-down on Smelt 

12.26.05 - Happy Birthday Danny! Nothing says Happy Birthday like Blanck's (how does one spell that...)

Alli, just before her murderous rampage Thome takin' pictures Brett and Holly waiting patiently for the picture that never ended Yes, this never-ending picture

12.25.05 - Merry Christmas with the Lefebers! We went to Grandma and Grandpa's at noonish and no one was there because they were all by their other families - it was weird. But a few hours later the rest piled in, and all was well with the world again. Highlights of the day include Uncle John's blueberry wine, a talking deer, and everyone fighting over a smoothie maker. 

Mathias and Grandpa Me, Grandma, Kev (Did my forehead get bigger...) My mother kept trying to take pictures of me and ManFeb all day

12.24.05 - Merry Xmas Eve! The day started out hellish at the Feedmill Market with the retarded new workers being slightly more retarded than usual. It continued with a nap, dinner with the fam, 8:00 mass, and gift-opening. It ended with a bottle of Riesling and "Spies Like Us" (Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase - you can't go wrong)

Kevin is happy as ever

12.23.05 - Mad Hatter's Tea Party!!! What better way for the posse to reunite? We indulged in the nectar of the South commonly known as "sweet tea" which is basically just iced tea loaded with sugar. Oh Southerners, how clever you are... Anyway, Alli cheated and won the best hat award. I'm not mad though - she'll get what's coming to her because cheaters burn in hell. A little something I like to call Karma. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the picture of Mr. Weiser and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle CD, Alli...

The madness begins when we dig through mom's closet in search of hats I think Eliot was the most excited to see the posse reunited again Haha - family picture! I forced my parents to wear hats during the party. If they took them off I beat them. No, seriously. Alysha and Aaron were the first to arrive. Alysha donned a bee keeper's hat while Leavy wore a plastic knight's hat with the antler of the deer he hit with his car duct-taped to it. Clever kids - maybe too clever... The Megan came in a pilgrim's hat! (Am I pregnant?) Lil Morgo showed up! Representin' Dan and Jake came! Which is which? Stupid Alli.... You look like a cancer baby. No wonder you won  Even Mannequin participated! (and soon after morphed back into Kim Catrall and we all got STDs) Oh so chic... I might kill her Aaron tried to his what-the-hell-is-that-little-portion-of-medieval-heltmet-called and it got stuck on his nose. I laughed. No seriously. Marshall shows off that seductive smile - and remember you can have one too! All you have to do is shoot an angry, intoxicated redneck in a bar and that brillant display of pearly-whites can be yours! Bonesy as seductive as ever Car, Ho, Fu Fu shows he's a true pal when he lends Eliot a hand in tying his tie Why didn't Noid win? Alli bitter with the world as always This drunken ho-skank has hit rock-bottom fo' sho whore Even after she won the coolest prize in the world, she was still bitchy That's what happens when you doushe with sand Sadie and Tyle redefine "class"  

12.22.05 - Went out to Schwarz's with Fu, Carla, Brett, Vanessa, Jenny Fo, and Savannah (Sadie came later) Then we went by Holly's to play with GlowSticks

Sadie and I become even less photogenic when photographed together. Weird, huh?Then Sadie made fun of my big-fucking-runaway-bride-eyes. I even tried squinting in this picture...Van and BoneVanessa give Brett headCar and Kim got their share of spiritsSavannah and JenFo indulgling in the best part of dinnerFu... without Ho? what the...

Glowstick madness! Fu was swinging his glowstick and it looked purdy. And then he hit me in the face This looks beautiful, but it's really a picture of Ho and Fu battling to the death Yep... you know you're cool when you play with GloSticks Yep... Then we turned the lights back on so Fu could pull out Holly's tampon string with his teeth And oh what treasure he finds!

12.18.05 - Xmas with my siblings! 

Our house filled with the chaos of Xmas McKenna and Kris Me and my sis Barb

12.15.05 - Finals are finally over! 

That's a lot of stuff! Somewhere along the way, our bladders needed to be relieved. We stopped at a gas station and found the bathroom situation humorous. Then we became pee-partners!

Thanksgiving Break!

11.24.05 - So my camera decided to be broken on this day, but don't worry my artistic talents can just as accurately capture the magic! On this happy Wednesday, I went to Schwarz's with Holly and Fu, after a long day of Xmas shopping with my mom. It was an enjoyable night, although Holly and Fu were grossed out by the consumption of my usual fat-kid portion (Is it wrong to eat two Charley-cut prime ribs?)

Yes I ate prime rib and a whole chicken - want to make something of it? god my hair is nasty

11.25.05 - Happy Thanksgiving! I celebrated Thanksgiving with my parents, grandparents, Kevin, and delicious steak. Afterwards, I made my way on down to Holly's for the usual Thanksgiving bash and with special features "The Private Diaries of Edwardo de Brazil" and Chilton LD kids' production "George Washington Gets Laid". Oh and a good ole poetry reading followed. 

Kitty condo! One of the many fruits of Fu's craftsmanship OJ glares pretending to be asleep Aaron how i love thee! This kid is desperate for attention There's rude Danielle talking on her phone The engagement picture - soon to appear in the Tri-County News Everyone was gettin some lovin that night Another engagement picture - Car and Jose Aaron temptsThe Stout threesome The posse! Fu was drunk and passed out upstairs so aaron went to take advantage him Then Aaron got thrown off the bed but quickly goes in to finish the job  Fu got his share of lovin that night Levi sneaks out after the crime Hey Bonesy Brett was stuck in Abercrombie-photo-shoot mode A playful Gap ad Aaron moves into the Kitty Condo Hey makes a friend and a lover And then he smells Oj's ass Saucy alli I think Alli was in heat that night Noid Brett assfucks Stukey The photo shoot continues This picture does make me want to buy that sweater This is what "you like like before you die" What the fuck are you smiling at I'm so pretty I could cry But here's real beauty A certain type of raw beauty that can't be imitated And then he punched me in the face Right before reciting his poem, Bonesy flashed the audience I hate Allison No really I do The tantalizing playing with the lower lip Mama goes thug and repents her badass image with this angelic shot Meow Scheming (thinking of Melrose Place) Um maybe Aaron should start eatting again... afterall wrestling is over The cocky photographer No really start eatting... please Ok that's sick, put it away Alli you fucking skank never speak to me again O Would a different pose kill you Mama gets caught in the crossfire between Alli and Danny Caption not necessary, because it's obvious who everyone is (I'm the one second from the left and Fu is levitating because he is upstairs sleeping) <Click Aaron's gorgeous picture for poetry    

11.25.05 - So our garage looked like the aftermath of a machete massacre thanks to deer hunting season. Gotta love that smell of fresh kill - "OOoohh that smell! The smell of death surrounds you!" Anyway. After watching Kevin chop up deer, I went to Kohler to the Schrage residence. We we to Applebees, TJ Maxx and the mall. Then I went to Holly's to watch her do homework and take pictures of Fu passed out and covered in kitties. 

  This is the most of a smile I will ever get out of that kid Mickey is saddened by the violence Is that a tear? Dani the Girl and J the Girl reunited! Is my hair green? Damnit... I don't think I saw Fu awake the whole time I was home Fu and an ample supply of pussies                       

Fall Break!

10.22.05 - Alas, nothing gold can stay. My last day of Fall Break was not a disappointment! We had family pictures taken and my whole family hung out at the mall together. Aw! Then Kevin and I journeyed into the barn to check out his chickens. Anyone remember his chicks before? Well, they're kind of huge now. Later that night Holly, Fu, Nick, Tyler, and I all loaded up into Nick's Astro (and you know it's going to be a good night when you're in an Astro) and cruised on down to the ST C. Our long voyage ended at Fat Boys at Ashley Mertens' birthday party. After mingling with the older crowd for a bit, we were thrown out by the bartender. We went back to Holly's and finished the job with a deck of cards and a bottle of Asti (what dreams are made of). Then I left for the airport...

My WHOLE family - all my siblings and nieces and nephews. It's ok if you don't have any idea who they are - I'm lucky I can remember them all This is an easy one - my parents and Kevin My sister Barb with my nephews, Brian and David. Even though her ribs are being smashed and she is suffocating she still manages to look gorgeous... Twins! Karson and McKenna with my brother Brian and my sister-in-law Kris. Cutest family ever... My sister Lynn's family! She and her husband Jeff in the middle, her kids Melinda and Curtis on the right, and Jeff's kids Brandon, Tyler, and Tiffany

It was pitch black in the barn but I have the most powerful flash in the world - wha ha ha! Anyway here are Kevin, Mischo, and Kellen's chickens. I forget whose are whose  I'm still not sure why Kevin has chickens... I suppose it's best not to question it I wonder if they're that creepy in the day time My flash angered him...

10.21.05 - Family doctor appointment day! So my parents, Kevin, the twins, and I all went to the doctor's office. Hoorah! Then we met Grandma for lunch at Friar Tuck's. Then we played with the twins (surprise). Then I met Morgan for coffee at The Diner. I have a picture of that, but it's on my phone and lo and behold I forgot the essential cord to get the pictures on my camera at home. Then Holly, Fu, and I went to Nick's. Nick, pretending to be Tom Cruise in Love, battled Fu, pretending to be Violent Russell Crowe. It was amazing. Don't be so "glib". Then Fu and Nick played Edward 40 hands and we ended the evening appropriately watching South Park.

Grandma and Karson! So we took the twins to WalMart and Jacob Bolton approaches us only to tell us that Karson does a good George Bush impression. Thank you Jacob.... My mother modelling with McKenna Um yeah, so my dad bought Kevin and I camera phones. We played with them all weekend - it was amazing Haha - Karson kicks Mom in the face to get her away My mom gets crazier everytime I come home Karson feasts on the locks he ripped out of my head... thanks... So McKenna is officially meanest kid around... she was torturing her little brother Now the battle begins... The stop the war to pose for a pic Then McKenna takes a cheap shot and gouges Karson's eyes out If you look closely you can see Karson crying in defeat
Fu tries to undo his pants to go to the bathroom Oh, I guess I should explain the game. Contestants take two 40oz bottles of the beer of their choice and duct tape them to their hands. Both bottles must be drank before they can be removed. The biggest challenge is either drinking fast enough so that the beer doesn't get warm, or figuring out how to go to the bathroom. Here Nick has triumphantly finished and is not removing the bottles Oh Nick, my hero...

10.20.05 - Um, twins! They spent the night and lemme tell ya, never a dull moment with these kids. They slept in my room, but it was okay because I slept right through their screams for help (yes it's a joke). But no really they were petrified of Elliot. I took millions of pictures. Here are a small few. Oh and Kevin, Holly, Fu, and I went out to Schwarz's that night. 

Kevin bonding with the young'ns... Amazing how glasses can make you look so much smarter.... Karson! Noooo!!!! Fu's tender touch is the key to his special bond with children

10.19.05 - On my first magical day home, Fu and Holly cooked me an exquisite dinner! That's right kids, we ate us some cow tongue - yum! We ended the evening as every perfect evening should: with South Park.

Mmmm... smells delicious - what could it be? Fu eats the tip... That face says MMMmmm MMmmm Good! So Holly owns a vibrating brush... Someone say this picture and aked me "Whose turkey is that?" I think the rule is to lounge in clothing from decades ago, you at least had to live during that time Uh oh.... Fu's got his "math face" on... You know some heavy-duty thinkin' s'bout to take place Yes I wore the same shirt as Fu. But for the record, I rightfully can because I was actually on the track team The best part of the night - Fu pretended to be a cat This pictures don't do it justice, but it was so funny I like passed out from laughter
